For the purpose of preventing thelubr1-" tain new and useful Improvements in Beari ings, of which the following isa specification. The invention has reference to means for supportingand-for-adjusting a shaft in the plane parallel to its axis.

The invention further comprehends an adjustable device, a shaft which is supported in. va bearing, may be shifted relatively to the i 5 bearing, and may thereafter be maintaine at will in the position td which. it has been shifted.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings, whereon- Figure-1 illustrates a bearing-frameand shaft and means for shifting the shaft relatively to the frame, and Fig. 2 illustrates a construction which is a modification of that which is illustratedinhig. 1.

lubricant as may fly from the parts may take; into a duct 21, which is provided with an out-' let leading back into the ,chamber. When the shaft 3, as well as the bearing just detion, such adjustment may be maintained by causing the jam-nut 22, carried by the screwthreaded member 14,.to be brought against the face 23 of the collar, and this jam-nut may be broughtinto position by a suitable 7c implement which may take into sockets 24, formed into said nut. It" will now be seen that the shaft 3 may be shifted or adjusted by the bearings whereby to; effect such relative positions of such shaft as may be desired. In the form illustrated in Eig. 2 the shaft 3 may be provided with a collar 25, which may be set upon or secured to the shaft in any Similar characte'rs of reference indicate suitable manner, and the ball-race 6 may corresponding parts in the illustrations. bear against'this collar instead of the shoulder In the form; illustrated in Fig. l the shaft 3 5.
